Moments of Honor 2025 

=>Tripura is the 3rd 100 % literate state: Tripura has been declared a fully literate state, achieving a literacy rate of 95.6 per cent through the 'ULLAS' program. This accomplishment positions Tripura as the third fully literate state in India, following Mizoram and Goa

=>Bihar is the 1st state to go for E-voting: In a landmark development, Bihar has carved its name in history by becoming the first Indian state to introduce e-voting for urban local body elections. This bold step marks a significant move towards digital democracy, offering citizens a convenient, secure, and transparent way to cast their votes from remote locations.

=>Length of Indian Coastline revised: India’s Coastline Revised to 11,098.8 km in 2024: 47.6% Increase Due to Advanced Mapping.

In December 2024, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs reported a significant revision in India’s coastline length.

• The length of the coastline was re-assessed by the 

National Hydrographic Office (NHO) in coordination with the Survey of India (SoI).

• The coastline increased from 7,516.6 km (1970s) to 11,098.8 km 

(2023-24) showing  a 47.6% increase.

The Coastline Paradox Coastlines exhibit fractal-like properties , their length increases  with smaller measurement scales. Example: A 200-km ruler smooths over curves; a 1-km ruler  captures fine estuarine details, increasing total length. The  Paradox was first identified by Lewis Fry Richardson;  mathematically explained by Benoît Mandelbrot (1967). Hypothetically, smaller units (e.g., water molecules) can give an  infinitely long coastline.

• The change is not due to territorial expansion or geological shifts, 
• but due to improved measurement methodologies.
• Coastline data will now be updated every 10 years, starting from

 2024–25.

=>Mizoram Achieves 100% Literacy: Chief Minister Lalduhoma declared Mizoram–the country’s 1st fully literate state. Building on this foundation, the ULLAS -- Understanding of Lifelong Learning for All in Society -- and Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram were implemented to identify and educate the remaining non-literate individuals.
